ois gyro and screen rotation - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I do a sensor check by entering *#0*# in the filter, the value for "ois gyro" is not changing. Also, my rotation isn't working. Can anyone check and report if the value for ois sensor on their phone is changing

That seems to be a stability test; it fails if trying to rotate during test.
The graph reflects direction of rotation change, spiking in the direction turned. The normal rotation from portrait to landscape and back to portrait is displayed near end where the spikes alternate above and below the static line. I was rotating phone at an interval reflected by the spikes.
Hope that helps your diagnosis.

I've managed to fix my problem, by wiping system, cache and dalvik without wiping data and flashing the same Rom as before.

Exact same problem
I used titanium backup to disable some things,
Now autorotation and pedometer doest work.
Undisabling every thing doesn't fix.
My OIS GYRO is static at X: -4.022 Y: 0.462
While the other sensory under the Gyroscope heading named GYROSCOPE flutters.
In fact all other sensorys flutter except for OIS GYRO.
When u did what u said, what data exactly were u able to keep? Just files? Apps? Launcher? Phone numbers?, pictures? Outlook and OneNote notebooks?
Could flashing a different rom still keep the data?

Auto rotate problem

I have a problem with auto rotation. Somewhere between rooting (S off, eng S-off and super CID) and installing a CyanogenMod 6.1.3 I got a problem with a rotation on my DHD. If i enable auto rotate my phone goes in landscape in every single app (Messages, camera, menu...) and it's not coming back to portrait when I rotate the phone. If I disable it everything is in portrait even camera and gallery.
I have installed a sensor test 1.0 by Qualigon and I can see that in Orientation sensor, when I rotate the phone, only X is changing, Y=0 and Z=0 all the time.
I have tried calibration and nothing happened. It's the same.
Help please
Having the same problem.
Try clearing caches and fixing permissions in Clockwork recovery.
Worked for me...
I didn't see any followup on this reply. I am having what seems to be a similar problem with the auto rotation. When I start an application it will correctly present either in portrait or landscape.
When I start the application in portrait and then switch the phone to landscape, the screen's rotation will correctly switch to landscape - but switching it back to portrait will not change the screen's rotation.
When I start the application in landscape it will remain in landscape regardless of the phone's orientation. The only way to get to portrait is to close the application, and then restart the application when the phone is in portrait mode.
I installed an application to test the sensor. When holding the phone in portrait vertically, the values I am getting are: ~230, ~0, ~1. When holding in landscape vertically, the values I am getting are: ~120, ~33, ~33.
The wrong rotation behavior happens in all applications. I switched two ROMs already (Cognition 1.5.2 and MIUI) and nothing changed. I am pretty sure the problem is SW related because as I wrote the initial presentation is correct (meaning the initial orientation that I will get when starting an application is always correct).
I would appreciate help.
similar prob FK!!!!!
Same problem but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps. Has anyone got any solutions for this yet??

[Q] Proper proximity sensor values

So here is my problem: Some time ago i was using the "in pocket detection" and it was working perfectly fine, then i disabled it, then yesterday i enabled it and it wouldn't work :/
Since i thought it has something to do with the proximity sensor i downloaded some app that checks sensor output data and it reports value either 3.0 when i move something towards the sensor or 100.0 when i move away. I was wondering if that's the normal behavior. (not increasing linearly but rather acting more like a switch 1-0 behavior)
Also, i have no problems with screen blacking out during calls (it turns off and back on as expected), proximity lock works fine with an external app, but not with the "In Pocket Detection" in settings/display.
Any clues on what could be causing the problem and any suggestions how to fix it?
It is by no means critical but I just want to figure out what's wrong.
I think it's the correct behavior. The proximity sensor works more like a switch. I belive the In Pocket Detection also uses the camera and/or the accelerometer for the "detection" ...
Thanks for your reply.
Well, in the end i just flashed CM7 on it so i don't have the in pocket detection anymore

Screen rotation lag

Has anyone else had a screen rotation issue on their Note 4?
In almost all apps, rotating from portrait to landscape or landscape to portrait has a very long delay. Usually at least 10 seconds, and sometimes not at all unless I tap the phone on a hard surface, and then it rotates.
That might suggest a sensor problem, except for 2 things that do work:
1) In camera mode, the buttons rotate instantly when I rotate the phone
2) In GPS status, which indicates phone orientation, it registers the screen rotation as roll in the pitch/roll display, although the GPS status screen does not rotate correctly either.
These seem to confirm that the actual sensor is working ok.
I've tried safe mode, clearing cache, closing all open apps. Nothing changes in the behavior. I also tried turning off SmartStay, and changing display mode.
Some hits I found suggested turning off "smart screen rotation" on the S5, but that setting doesn't seem to exist on the Note 4.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?

This is like a dead giveaway for a hardware problem.
Wow, 10 seconds is a looooonnnggg time for a screen rotation. I've never experienced this on my Note 4, so the only thing I can think of is talking to your carrier or Samsung themselves to ask about it. Sounds like a hardware failure to me.
Yeah, that does make it seem like a hardware problem. But like I said, the camera buttons rotate instantly every single time, with zero lag. That would seem to say the hardware is working, unless the camera uses a different sensor for rotation than the rest of the UI.
Also, my wife has the same issue with her Note 4. We got them at the same time, so maybe it's a problem with that batch.
Since we both have it, it seemed like it could be caused by some app we both have, but I thought booting in Safe Mode would eliminate that, as only stock apps run in Safe Mode.
I guess I could wipe the device completely and see if it resolves. If not, I'll take it in as a hardware problem.
After a full wipe and cache clear, it still has the same problem. I called Verizon, and they are shipping out a replacement phone.

Sensor Calibration Issue

I have some issue with gyro sensor calibration. When I keep the phone in landscape mode calibration seems to be correct, portrait mode has issue(Screenshot attached).
Does anyone know how to fix this or tell me which file to edit for recalibrating? I have tried many apps from store, but nothing works.

accelerometer stops working

accelerometer stops working a few hours after a reboot.
That means auto rotation stops working.
This is very annoying because a lot of apps use it.
For example you think you are taking a landscape photo with the camera and then you end up having to edit the photo to rotate it in landscape mode because accelerometer stopped working and the photo was shot in portrait mode.
It is solved with a reboot but only lasts for some time.
I think the problem is that miui's stupid battery management puts the accelerometer to sleep or something.
(this is not an issue solved by turning the auto rotation toggle on and off in the quick settings.I write it so noone proposes such a solution)
